The society's volunteers trap, neuter and return (TNR) cats from the large colonies of feral cats in the area.[1][2][4][5] Where possible, kittens and older cats are made available for adoption.[1][2][3][6][7]

TinyKittens runs a livestream showing 24-hour footage of the kittens and cats being cared for by the society.[1][3][6][8] There is an associated chat space.[2][3] The group received news coverage for rescuing Cassidy, a disabled cat found as a feral kitten without his back legs;[4][9][10][11] and Mason; an older feral cat with kidney disease who enjoyed the company of kittens.
